Facebook/Heroku sample app -- Node.js

=====================================

This is a sample app showing use of the Facebook Graph API, written in Node.js, designed for deployment to [Heroku](http://www.heroku.com/).

Run locally

-----------

Install dependencies:

    npm bundle install

[Create an app on Facebook](https://developers.facebook.com/apps) and set the Website URL to `http://localhost:5000/`.

Copy the App ID and Secret from the Facebook app settings page into your `.env`:

    echo FACEBOOK_APP_ID=12345 >> .env

    echo FACEBOOK_SECRET=abcde >> .env

Launch the app with [Foreman](http://blog.daviddollar.org/2011/05/06/introducing-foreman.html):

    foreman start

Deploy to Heroku via Facebook integration

-----------------------------------------

The easiest way to deploy is to create an app on Facebook and click Cloud Services -> Get Started, then choose Node.js from the dropdown.  You can then `git clone` the resulting app from Heroku.

Deploy to Heroku directly

-------------------------

If you prefer to deploy yourself, push this code to a new Heroku app on the Cedar stack, then copy the App ID and Secret into your config vars:

    heroku create --stack cedar

    git push heroku master

    heroku config:add FACEBOOK_APP_ID=12345 FACEBOOK_SECRET=abcde

Enter the URL for your Heroku app into the Website URL section of the Facebook app settings page, hen you can visit your app on the web.
